Losers for the seventh time in eight, and with only pride at stake, the U.S. tennists went back on the courts for the final singles matches, and fought hard to save themselves from an embarrassing shutout. Seixas outlasted Anderson, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 0-6, 13-11, and MacKay, no longer bothered by cup competition jitters, beat back Cooper, 6-4, 1-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, by John Alexander Carroll and Mary Wells Ashworth. The seventh and concluding volume of the massive work that Historian Douglas Southall Freeman did not live to finish.
